TOEIC® Listening & Reading Test
TOEIC® Listening & Reading in Secure Program Guidelines
Notes on Application
Please confirm and consent to the Privacy Policy of IIBC and TOEIC® Listening & Reading in Secure Program guidelines before you apply for the TOEIC® Listening & Reading in Secure Program.
- In case of the “Random Selection,” only those who received the email which notify them of being selected can take the test.
- If you arrive at the test center without both one identification photograph and a personal identification accepted by the Institute for International Business Communication (“IIBC” hereinafter), the test administrator will not admit you and you cannot take the test. The test fee will not be refunded in such cases. Be sure to check the items you need to bring with you on the test date before applying.
- You are not allowed to change the test date and time once the application is submitted. No one can take
the test on behalf of a registered test taker. We cannot refund the test fee once payment is made.
However, in case of the “Random Selection,” we will refund the test fee for those applicants who were not selected this time. (If you applied for the test using the voucher, your voucher code is effective for the application for next tests.) We will not refund the test fee for those applicants who were selected.
If you apply for the test on the same date (AM and PM sessions) using the multiple IDs and are selected as a test taker for both sessions in duplicate, the test fee is not refundable. - If you are a minor, please obtain the consent of your legal guardian.
- If you are aged 12 or under on the test date, you will be required to take the test in the room specifically for younger examinees.
If your family member also plans to take the test at the same test site, please contact the IIBC Test Operation Center by the application deadline.However, in case of the “Random Selection", your inquiry does not guarantee that you can take the test. Please note that there is a possibility that only one or all of your family members may or may not be selected.
- If you have visual, hearing or orthopedic impairment, please contact the IIBC Test Operation
Center before you apply. Depending on the circumstances, your application may
not be accepted.
However, in the situation where we have placed limits on the number of applicants, or in case of the “Random Selection,” depending on the availability of test centers, we may not be able to provide an environment that meets the requests of persons with disabilities, and therefore you may not be able to take the test.
- Please accurately enter your name and date of birth as listed on your family register.
- The application process is completed after you have gone through all prescribed application
procedures and have paid the test fee. Only when all prescribed application procedures have
been completed, a receipt of application will be sent to you by e-mail. (We will use the e-mail
address you registered when you applied.) Please keep this e-mail until you receive your test
results. In some cases e-mails do not reach test takers because an incorrect e-mail address was
registered. Even if our e-mail regarding receipt of application does not reach you, we will consider
your application to be complete. If your application is complete, you will see the word ”Completed”
on the payment status screen on the “Application
History (detail)” in TOEIC Application Site. Please make sure to confirm the status of your application.
However, in case of the “Random Selection,” the test takers will be selected at random from all applicants, who have completed the application and payment procedure. As the result of random selection, only those who received the email which notify them of being selected can take the test. When you complete the application on “Random Selection”, the application confirmation email will be sent to your email address, which you registered upon applying for the test. However, this does not mean that the test contract has been concluded.
- After you have completed all prescribed application procedures, you will be notified on test center
which you will take the test by an admission ticket with the information printed. If you would like
to change the test site, please contact the IIBC Test Operation Center from the Wednesday eighteen
days to the Wednesday four days before the test date. If seats are available at the test site you would
like to change to, you may be able to change the test site. Note that you cannot change the test
centers within the same test site nor designate a specific test center. Additionally, if the Wednesday
eighteen days before the test date or the Wednesday four days before the test date is a holiday, the
deadlines for completing these procedures will change. Contact the IIBC Test Operation Center for specific information.
The “test site” is an area classification set up by the IIBC Test Operation Center. You can choose the test site when you apply. We designate the test center within the test site you chose and notify you by printing the information on the admission ticket. In some cases, there may be more than one test area within a prefecture.Check the test date schedule for your desired test area before applying.
However, in the situation where we have placed limits on the number of applicants, we will not accept any requests regarding changes of test sites after the application deadline.
- All answer sheets completed by examinees on the test date will be scored except in the cases stated below.
- After we receive the applications, we may announce important notes regarding each test on our official website as "Important Notice". Please check the "Important Notice" prior to taking the test.
Information for Legal Guardians
If an inquiry is made by a legal guardian of the test taker, we will reply by telephone using the telephone number on the application after confirming the person inquiring is a legal guardian of the test taker.

The admission ticket is mailed about 2 weeks in advance of the test date. All the information you need for taking the test can be found under the heading of "Test Information" at the TOEIC Application Site.

Cancellation or Interruption of Test in Secured Program
- We may cancel a test at all test sites or in some limited areas if events outside our control (e.g. earthquakes, tsunami, other natural disasters, strikes, outbreak of infectious diseases) cause difficulty in securing the test centers, blackouts or other circumstances, such as disorders related to transportation, communication, or distribution. In the event that we need to cancel the test, notifications will be posted on our official website. We may also cancel the test if the IIBC Test Operation Center judges the trouble to be a hindrance in continuing the test due to unforeseen circumstances or other situations. If this happens, your test fee will be refunded as a general rule. If you do not wish to receive a refund, we will provide you with the opportunity to take the test again.
- A test may be interrupted if the IIBC Test Operation Center judges the trouble to be a hindrance in continuing the test. If this happens, the finish time of the test will be delayed.
- We assume no responsibility whatsoever for any inconvenience, costs and all other personal losses incurred by test takers due to cancellation or postponement of a test administration except for refunds of your test fee due to the cancellation of the test as described in 1 above.
